“Ariana is such a thoughtful and exceptional pet sitter! She followed the instructions I left to a T, and went above and beyond with detailed reports of her visits. I could tell she genuinely cared about my kitty and spent extra time giving her love and affection.

Ariana is the best!!”

“Daniella did great with checking in on our dogs! They seemed to enjoy their walks with her and didn't have any issues. She left good notes about her visits and was easy to communicate with.

“I booked rather last minute and thrilled that Mateo was able to accommodate m and my little beasties. He was incredibly communicative and checked in regularly. I felt so good knowing the beasties were in good hands. Will definitely try to work with him again!”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have cared for both dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies/kittens to senior pets. I'm comfortable with different personalities and care needs. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets while they're away because they know I'll treat them like my own. I'm patient, dependable, and happy to stick to each pet's normal routine. Whether your pet loves to play or just wants extra cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm currently looking for a full-time position, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on the pets in my care. I'm available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I enjoy spending time with animals, so making sure they're happy and comfortable is something I genuinely look forward to. I can easily adapt to your pet's routine and provide consistent care. My goal is to make them feel as relaxed as possible while you're away. I know every pet is different, so I always take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before I begin caring for them. Whether I'm in your home or caring for them in mine, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and calm environment. I'll follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any house rules you have. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care.
About: I used to work for the pet sitter company for the last 5 years and working with many various of sized dogs including cats. Willing to take care of special needs pets. I also can cover your fish feeding, lizards, and ferrets if needed. Hit me up. We can plan a planning. Woof woof! I’m currently self - employed part time. I’m usually available on many days. Would like to walk early morning and midday when you’re going to work or far away. Can cover the same pet in evening if something happens suddenly. Unfortunately, I live in someone’s place and have to follow his policies. No pets allowed in my home but good news I can take care of your pets in your sweet home.
“Anna has been great with my 3 month old puppy! She has been very flexible with my hours since they change a lot and has given me a great peace of mind every day I have her stop by.”
“As always, Lexa took phenomenal care of my boys. I had to leave unexpectedly for a family emergency and Lexa was able to help me out even though it was a last minute request. She suggested some automated feeders that have made a huge difference in their over eating problems. She will always be my first choice of cat sitters because I know without a doubt my boys will be well taken care of!”
“Emily was amazing with my cat. My cat was comfortable with her from day one - which made me feel much more secure knowing that he was in good hands while I was away on my trip.”
“Mara was a perfect match for what we were looking for in a cat sitter. You can tell she actually cares for and loves pets. She communicated with me and responded to my messages right away. We will be adding her to our list for cat sitters in the future. And I say list only if she’s not available because she’d be our first choice.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best cat sitter I could have asked for! I’m very particular about my cats’ care, and I left detailed written instructions along with videos. She followed everything exactly, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even brushed my long-haired cats, which I really appreciated and wasn’t something I expected. When I got home, they were happy, well cared for, and the whole experience was completely stress-free. It was obvious they had been looked after with genuine care and attention to detail. I would absolutely trust her with my cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive pet sitter!”

Erica took wonderful care of our 3 cats while we were away for 3 days. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure everything stayed clean and comfortable for them.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
